The idea is that the intervals between notes in any key is the same and numbers give you a way to think in intervals and patterns no matter what key you're playing. E.g., if your minor triad is C Eb G, then you "phrase" it as 1 3b 5 and it means that in any key root, 3rd note flat and 5th note will be the minor triad

Hope it makes sense

Well duh!! Why didn't I think if that?!? Thanks for the explanation.


This trying to get my left hand and right hand to work together is driving me crazy!
